About Angela

Angela Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience based in Wisconsin. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, bipolar mood shifts, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related matters. Angela also addresses anger, low self-esteem, and a wide range of related life adjustments.

She practices in a person-centered way and works in partnership with people to set goals they choose. Sessions focus on what the client says matters most. Angela draws on practical interventions and conversational work rather than jargon, so people can try small changes between meetings.

Her background includes long experience across individual and group settings. She has worked with people facing trauma exposure, mood fluctuations, substance concerns, and cultural or identity-specific stressors. She also has experience with aging and caregiving stress, body image and relationship communication problems, attachment and personality issues, and co-occurring conditions.

Clinically, Angela uses a mix of approaches to match different needs. She integrates client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, existential thinking, and motivational interviewing. Narrative methods also appear in her work when people want to rewrite how they tell their story.

People who feel stuck after a job change, a breakup, health changes, or a major life transition often come to her to talk through next steps. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats offered.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. The therapist helps people name what matters and sets goals based on the client’s choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and address unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress without making things worse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as sessions progress.

Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about timing, session length, and practical arrangements to make sessions work for everyday life.
